  • Next trip planned – Flanagan’s Reserve, SE Qld

    Planning our next trip Well, it’s been a while since our last trip but we are off soon for an extended Easter break. I am taking an extra week off before uni officially goes on a break for mid-semester (so I’ll just have to make sure I’ve got all my assignments up to date). Damian […]

  • She’s finally finished! The handover of our new Camper Trailer

    How exciting – we get to pick her up We finished up our camping trip by heading to Brendale and Aussie Swag Campers to pick up our much awaited camper trailer. We have purchased the Ultra D (Diesel) and she is a home on wheels.  To see all the inclusions, you can look here.  By the […]

  • NINDIGULLY VIDEOS

    I came across these videos well after I had posted our blog on the Nindigully Pig Races so thought I’d provide you with a new post so you can enjoy some of what we did at the time. The band you see in the videos is Simply Bushed and I’ve become a bit of a groupie […]

  • BUNDABERG TO SAMFORD VALLEY, BRISBANE

    Deep down, we were stretching out this part of the trip as much as possible.  Neither of us were ready to go home, but we had to be in Brisbane first thing the next morning to pick up our new camper trailer 🙂 On the road, we passed some roadworks (naturally) and I just loved […]

  • AIRLIE BEACH TO BUNDABERG

    After our 3 nights at Airlie Beach, we packed up and headed off back down the coast getting closer and closer to Brisbane and Canungra.  As we packed up though, the little family of ducks that had been ever present during our stay, crossed in front of us looking for grass to eat.  We had […]

  • AIRLIE BEACH

    We booked into the Seabreeze Tourist Park at Airlie Beach and again were told we could just wander round and pick our own site 🙂  As it was now school holidays, caravan parks were getting a little busier.  This caravan park appears to be undergoing some fairly extensive renovations and extensions – looking all for the […]

  • CAIRNS TO AIRLIE BEACH

    We had pre-booked into a caravan park at Airlie Beach for 3 nights so we decided we needed an early start to get there before 5pm.  As I had a photographer friend in Townsville who I wanted to catch up with, we would need all the time we could get on the road. Before we […]

  • CAIRNS

    On the way into Cairns, we took a detour to Kuranda and enjoyed a little time there wandering around, having an ice-cream and buying some ‘relaxed’ clothing for me.  Yes, I relented and purchased some ‘happy pants’ which are rather ‘way out’ for me.  But, oh they are comfortable. Situated only 25km NW of Cairns, Kuranda […]

  • LIONS DEN HOTEL TO CAIRNS

    The time has come to start heading towards home.  My personal reflections so far? Nindigully Pub was an absolute highlight for both of us. I very much enjoyed the journey to my home town of Dirranbandi and meeting up with Anne Young of Begonia Station.  Seeing all the buildings that Dad used to work in […]
